FAC 51 The Hacienda returns to the Albert Hall in Manchester this week, with an American theme. Joining Hac regulars, Mike Pickering and Jon Dasilva, will be New Jersey's house originator Kerri Chandler, whose DJing appearances see him perform and remix live. On the night he will also be playing keyboards into the mix.

On the bill is also Derrick Carter, instrumental in building the Chicago House scene and Detroit's Delano Smith, who together with re-whizzing early electronica, has recently forged a new techno reputation and new acclaim for his production work as Delano.
